for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
~Matthew 5:3-12
Grammar in a Nutshell
Three little words you often see
Are articles - an, a, and the.
A noun is the name of anything
As school, or garden, hoop, or swing.
Adjectives tell the kind of noun, As great, small, pretty, white, or brown.
Instead of nouns the pronouns stand -
Her head, his face, your arm, my hand.
Verbs tell of something being done -
To read, count, laugh, sing, jump, or run.
How things are done the adverbs tell, As slowly, quickly, ill, or well.
Conjunctions join the words together
As men and women, wind or weather.
The prepositions stand before
A noun, as in or through the door.
The interjections show surprise As Oh! How pretty! Ah! How wise!
The whole are called the nine parts of speech,
Which reading, writing, speaking teach.
